For one minute, walk outside, stand there, in silence, look up at the sky and contemplate how amazing life is.

A Valuable Lesson
I don't very often go on Facebook but I'm glad I went on when this short video was shown. I have watched it several times and am so pleased I didn't miss it.
I like this, very powerful. I know that I have done some passive actions like this...and when I realize it I feel bad that I have let bias cloud my vision.
WOW, Valerie...what a POWERFUL video clip! I watched it twice.
And it was interesting to see how the little girl had no awareness of sitting next to the young man; thinking that he was any different, like her parents did. Which just goes to show that racism and prejudice is something that is "taught."
Thank you so much for sharing this today, dear lady.
I'm on FB a lot, but this did not appear in my feed. :( Soooo glad to have come here and saw it! Very powerful. We should all think about this. Thanks!
If you're new to A Mixed Bag you might find something to interest you, a bit of mirth, a story or two, or some pictures. I'm so pleased you popped in, do leave a comment if you have time.
It's a nice little moment that makes you think. I like it as well.
